Wildlife Surveys in Agricultural Landscapes: Terrestrial Medium- to Large-Sized Mammals

摘要: Human-induced changes have drastically modified pristine environments, and the replacement of natural ecosystems constrained composition structure communities that they are made of, due to modification ecological processes. Survey monitoring sampling schemes been defined mostly applied which characterized by a spatial structural heterogeneity. However, their application agroforestry areas should take into consideration these environments spatially more homogeneous, but present temporal heterogeneity linked with production cycles. In this chapter, we description assumptions, weaknesses, strengths main methods used in surveying medium large mammals. Moreover, advise researchers need particularities landscapes adapt mentioned assure representativeness collected data accuracy detected patterns.
